The members of the sophomore class have filed a petition with the trustees asking for the resignation of Dr. O. V. McBeth. lecturer on materia medica. on the ground that he is incompetent and that they are not getting their money's worth. Dr. McBeth is the city oacteriologist. who was appointed by Mayor Berghoff in recognition of his chaDge to Bryan's support shortly before the election of 1900. The doctor was fresh from service in the Philippines, and his charges against the administration of affairs there caused a local sensation at the time. He is a son-in-law of Dr. C. B. Stemen, a leading surgeon, who is a stanch Republican. The trustees have promised to take up the case and investigate. . . Bit CT Air ASSAULT Pendleton Man Robbed atlitl Left to Ilia Kate On Tracks.

Though partly conscious, . . hey, permitted his money to be taken, aiter which he heard one of bis assailants remark: "Let's finish him; he knows us." The robbers then dragged their half-unconscious victim to the tracks, but before a train arrived he revived sufficiently to drag himself to safety. He later gave information upon which his assailants were arrested and are now in jail. - , Wbeclrr Give t'p. Michigan City, Ind., Jan. 2iJ. Willis B.

Wheeler's adult children have practically given up effort to save his neck, but he has received a letter from a daughter saying that she would claim his body. Wheeler is taciturn, illiterate and o! melancholy disposition. He is still confined in the hospital, but will soon be removed to the death chamber. Fatal Game of Cardi). Marion, Ind., Jan. 28.

X- J, recently electtnl to that ottn-e in that ancient city, sat in his office on Broad street the day lefoie election. A dark skinned, sleek lookimr young man was ushered in. Disposing himself In a comfortable chair, lie spread out his hands ami in a soft voice, with a decided at-ent. bejran: "Mcester Ryan, you be the next mayor of Eleez. You ennna lw beet." There was a pause, during which the caller observed the ceiling contemplatively, and Mr. Ryan observed him with an indulgent smile. The strange young tuau continued: "The greata poet of England say. 'There is a tide in the life of men if "NO MOKK IT KES THE AGE OK KOMAXCE." yon taka in the flood lead on to election. I tntro!la that flood. I coutrolla the Italiana vote of this oeety," striking his chest violently. "I sella you that fote for feefty dollar." "Young man," interrupted Mr. Ryan, "we do not buy votes in this city, and even if we did we would know that there are only six Italian voters in Eiizalxth. I will give you three-quarters of a minute to get out of my oflice before I call a policeman." The strange visitor rose languidly from his chair.

A German paper tells the xfciry of a German officer who. in comma ml of some Boers, managed to surprise a British train at a small wayside station. There was some whisky on board, and the Boers soon sampled it. with the result that tbe good British spirit did its duty by laying them out fast asleep on the platform. Here they were found and captured by some English troops, who, in their turn, took a little from a half empty cask, with tbe result that, acting on half starved men. the whisky sent them to sleep in their turn. When the Boers woke up. they recaptured their capturers. Thus in a few hours there was one British victory and two Boer victories added to the record. GMdirla't Giplaaalloa. Nat Goodwin was lounging in the smoking room of a London hotel with Pat Sheedy recently when Mr. Andrew Lang, the literary critic, stopped to greet the comedian. The conversation turned upon matters literary, and before Mr. I-ang departed he had made some allusion to Theodore Watts-Dun-ton. the celebrated pre-Raphaelite. "What's DuutonT queried Sheedy. who was rather mystified. "It's a gag from Weber and Fields," replied Goodwin, sparring for time. "I never heard It How does it go." "Why.

Senator Depew was treading very cautiously on the icg pavement as a stout party sailed around the corner and struck a sliding track. "Gracious!" exclaimed Dr. Depew. who feared that tbe man had broken a leg and was very much relieved to discover that he had not. "It is very fortunate that you did not fall with your legs under you." "1 should not have fallen had they been under vA'." retorted the unfortunate acridly.

"I've always thought It dreadfully old fashioned, but I didn't tuind because It was grandmother's name." "Then you've got folks, eh? Why. I shouldn't know how that felt." "I did have. 1 haven't any now. There aren't any left." The catch In her low voice seemed to trouble Luke. He changed the topic.

"What 'r? " Her puzzled Innocence made him laugh in a big. healthy way. Faith laughed, too. Involuntarily. They were passing a long row of tenements that toed the pavement In dreamy succession. Faith stopped before one midway In the row. "This ain't your home. Is It?" the big man asked, eying the structure wltb ev!?!ent disfavor. "No; It's where I stop." Faith answered quietly, conscious that she blushed under his frank gate. It was a graceless bouse, and she wished that her room was in front, so be conld see the pot of red geraniums and tbe wblte curtain which helped out some. At the front door they both stopped, and Faith looked up at blm shyly. "I'm ever so much obliged. Mr. Mr "- "Dolllver. DoUJver: but you Just say 'Luke.'. I work down at Weymontb's factory. Everybody calls me Lnke." - He beld the timbrella above her carefully till she mounted tbe steps and stood in tbe slit of a doorway. Then he closed It promptly. "Well. I declare If It ain't stopped ralnin" he cried. "Now. when did that happen?" In the spring twilights which followed, these two workers met. at first as If by chance and then as If by mutual attraction. They loitered on tbelr way home from work, and tbe girl grew less lonely, while tbe man came to count on throwing aside bis troubles for tbe short time tbey walked together. Moreover, be became ambitious to make her smile in return. The rare occasions when he suggested that thy pass beyond tbe tenement and sit on the benches In tbe promenade and watch the sunset on tbe water Faltb marked as red letter days on her calendar. It did not occur to honest, big Luke iKklliver that danger lurked in these quiet moments. Tbe mite of a woman who sat beside him looked happy he liked to make ber qniet face brighten. 1 Nor did it occur to Faith that she loved him she was simply content when be j graduated bis great pace to hers or talked quietly to ber on tLe promenade.

Give me also springs ot water." She understood that the tract sloping southward toward the deserts of Arabia was mountainous, swept by hot winds and deficient in rain supply. Sc she wanted besides a piece of land well watered and fertile that It might be profitably cultivated. Caleb was so well pleased with tb victory won for him by Otbnell that b could deny the bride nothing. "And b ga ve her." tbe record adds, "tbe upper springs and the nether springs." mort than she bad asked, as fathers are apt to do wltb daughters whom tbey rest and love only to lose when the lnevita ble bridegroom comes.
